Man of 10,000 Voices

His name will forever be followed by a clarifying explanation — as in, the guy who did the funny voices in the Police Academy movies — but Michael Winslow, with his "10,000 vocal effects," has been playing stand-up gigs since his Officer Larvell Jones was taken off the beat with the apparent end of the Police Academyfilms in 1994 (though he'll return in next year's long-awaited Police Academy 8). While he may seem like a one-trick pony, Winslow actually incorporates his vocal gymnastics into jokes and stories. There's even a part of the show when you can try to stump him with a sound-effect request. And with HPD facing a well-publicized shortage of new recruits, why not put Winslow on the streets to sound like an entire battalion of officers? Just think of the money the city will save!
